A lavish and spirited dramatization of the life of Enlightenment-era rakish rogue Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, whose rapier wit and dashing mannerisms won him a love-hate relationship with the French aristocracy, who made him a spy and diplomat but banned his satirical "Marriage of Figaro" and periodically jailed him for subversion. Nominated for four Cesar awards, including Best Actor (Luchini). [More]

Reviews for Beaumarchais the Scoundrel
Here is a lavish and charming film about a decade in the life of the multi-talented eighteenth century playwright and political activist
Little more than a series of innocuous adventures that just happen to be inhabited by the same character.
A very witty, farcical comedy-drama that plays fast and loose with historical fact.
